Bri just won gold in mental gymnastics.

[remylebae]

If you self-identify as "the greatest person on earth, " there's a term for that: delusional.

[smooth_pursuit]

The reason she’s talking so much and saying nothing is because she’s trying to rationalise the absurd. Most of them don’t bother, it’s just “no debate”

[chuckpershall]

I went through this quite a few years ago. Politically I don’t fit anymore. It comes from starting to think for yourself and the realization that party politics is fundamentally dishonest.

[mihokosymons]

No, Bri. Many people just have an issue with being forced to call trans women “women” and trans men “men” when they simply don’t believe it AND then being called transphobic or bigot by sticking to their common sense.

Bri has utter contempt for any woman refusing to bow to transwomens demands and feelings.

[michaelcatalano]

It's so weird that she is catching so much heat for this. I feel like almost everyone i know feels that they don't really fit exactly into either left or right. That's what you get with a binary system.

[MrAtheist]

Wow she used a lot of words but didn't say anything. Her own paper analogy went against her argument. Interesting

[creditorclass]

She is actually too smart to recognize that the whole world is approaching complete EXHAUSTION.

Briahna's mental gymnastics here....

[AlternateKek]

It's not a grift to change your mind when you face facts that change your perspective. Bri is the grifter.

[kenhutley]

Why would anyone feel a need to "label" themselves? It is just so limiting. To eschew labels is to be truly free.

[areaunderthecurve]

Briahna is out of her mind on this issue. She completely missed the boat.

[CivReborn]

She is very good at destroying her own arguments...

[zdogg]

Briahna: "I know it sounds silly to (BECAUSE IT IS!!)

[karenmaso]

I hope I am not alone in saying this conversation is one of the most absurd I have heard coming out of Brihana. I think she should get some professional help after this rambling. 😂

Bri: No one is telling you how to identify

Also Bri: YOU ARE CIS WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!

[ladell]

I stopped considering myself being “on the left” anymore a few years back. It’s all muddy water now. If you don’t 100% adhere to the twitter mob you’re instantly labeled “right wing”. It’s tiring. Ana has been saying this for like 1yr+. I’m 100% with her, and so are a lot of people (mostly people not trying to get likes and viewers on their content).

Bri is dancing around the fact not Robbie in this one

[knoxust]

12:40 It really comes across to me that Bri is purposely being obtuse with Robbie. I’ve listened to it multiple times trying to be charitable and understand her point. Robbie is basically articulating to call one piece of paper “Trans women” and the other paper “Women” and Bri is acting like there is a issue there. My best attempt to steel man her view is that we should call one paper “Trans women” and the other paper “Cis women” to make Trans women feel better. But most men and women I know find it offensive to call them Cis and don’t like being called a bigot or transphobe because they don’t want to change the language they’ve always used to identify themselves by to appease trans people. Most people will be polite and use the pronouns a transpersons wants but women don’t want to change the way they refer to themselves to be cis women.

If someone understands Bri’s position here and can articulate it in a way I can understand, I would appreciate it.
